Glo launches 5 new pocket-friendly tariffs

- Gives free airtime, SMS and free 5MB data to subscribers

Globacom has
introduced five new subscriber-friendly tariff plans
targeted at its prepaid customers. The new plans, Hi-Flyer and Talkfree have
been introduced to address the needs of high value voice and data subscribers
while the new G-Bam, new Infinito and new Gista which already exist, have been repackaged to offer more value to customers.

Elaborating on the new
tariff plans, Globacom’s Coordinator, Marketing, Adeniyi Olukoya said that the
new tariffs will deliver more value to subscribers on the network. “Whether
they spend more on calls or data, these new tariff plans will deliver more
value as subscribers can make calls within the network for as low as 5k/sec and
international calls for as low as 15k/ sec”, he said.

Continuing, Olukoya
explained that subscribers on the Talkfree plan will enjoy 150 free minutes and
150 free SMS monthly while Glo-to-Glo calls on the plan will be at 15k/sec and
calls to other networks will be at the rate of 18k/sec. To enjoy the fantastic
Talkfree rates subscribers will pay a monthly subscription fee of N1,000 only.

With the Hi-Flyer
plan, customers who subscribe to any data plan from 200MB and above will enjoy
calls to all networks at 18k/sec. Under this plan, the customers will enjoy the
best data usage, unrivalled customer experience and flat calling rates to all
networks.

The new G-Bam tariff
allows subscribers to call 5 loved ones at 5k/sec and call all networks at
18k/sec. Subscribers will also get 5M B free data daily to check their mails,
browse Facebook, tweet and do other things on the internet after paying a
subscription fee of N5 per day. “This rate is the best in the market as staying
in touch with loved ones has never been cheaper”, Olukoya said.

He also stated that
the new Infinito tariff gives subscribers the benefit of keeping in touch with
10 loved ones on the Glo network at just 10k/sec. Subscribers on the tariff can
also call other Glo customers at 20k/sec and other networks at the rate of
30k/sec.

He explained further
that with the new Glo Gista tariff, subscribers can make on-net calls at the
rate of 15k/sec while calls to other networks will be at the rate of 30k/sec after
the 1st minute of the day at 40k/sec.

For all these new
plans coming from the stables of Globacom, customers will enjoy international
calls to the USA,UK (fixed), Canada, China and India at
15k/sec after the 1st minute at 25k/sec. In addition, they will
enjoy 35 hours of free night calls every week.

Olukoya said that the
new plans are introduced in order to offer more choices and deliver more value
to new and existing Glo subscribers who register for these special tariffs on
the prepaid platform.

“With these new
pocket-friendly rates, we expect our subscribers to take advantage of the wider
choices now available and freely connect with their family and friends without
being worried about high tariffs and huge data costs”, Olukoya added.
